Question from ShaafiJahangir (20:14, 11 October 2024)

Hi Zoozaz,

There are a few changes I would like to make to the Brentwood College School wikipedia page for which I will mention along with evidence from the Brentwood website itself.

change head of school from "Bud Patel" to "Garth Chalmer" (https://www.brentwood.ca/blogs/hes-calm-hes-a-charm-hes-garth-chalmers)

change school postal code from "V0R 2P1" to "V8H 1K8" as shown in the Brentwood page (https://www.brentwood.ca/contact-us)

change colors from "Red and Black" to "Red, White and Black" (https://www.brentwood.ca)

I need help implementing this. I have already put this information in the Talk:Brentwood College School page. --ShaafiJahangir (talk) 20:14, 11 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

ShaafiJahangir, I've converted your edit request on the talk page to a COI edit request. Changing your username does not get rid of the conflict of interest; you still have to declare on your userpage your conflict of interest. Since it's a simple change with sources, someone should get to your request shortly. Zoozaz1 (talk) 23:20, 11 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Zoozaz1, someone did get to it but did not spell the head of school's name right. It is supposed to be Garth Chalmers. Please double check it. ShaafiJahangir (talk) 16:41, 16 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

ShaafiJahangir, I've changed it. Before you do any more edits, though, you must state your conflict of interest on your userpage, otherwise you are violating Wikipedia rules even if you just request edits. Zoozaz1 (talk) 18:10, 16 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I have written my statement. Could you briefly explain why that is? Can I be a permanent editor of this page as I work at Brentwood College School as it is part of my job? I foresee any plans to advertise the brand/company but rather keep the wikipedia page of the school updated. ShaafiJahangir (talk) 19:55, 16 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

ShaafiJahangir, thank you for editing your userpage. You can read Wikipedia's specific policies/rationale on WP:COI; in short, just make sure to request COI edit requests on the talk page of Brentwood College School instead of editing directly, and you'll be fine.

Growth News, October 2024

Current work

Newcomer Homepage Community Updates module

We will add a new module to the Newcomer Homepage that will allow communities to highlight specific events, projects, campaigns, and initiatives. We have released a simple version on beta wikis and we will soon start an A/B test on our pilot wikis. This module will only display on the Newcomer Homepage if communities decide to utilize it, so learn how to configure the Community Updates module, or share your thoughts on the project's talk page.

Constructive activation experimentation

After showcasing early design ideas at Wikimania, we conducted user testing of design prototypes. We now aim to engage communities in further discussions and plan to run a targeted experiment, presenting a structured task within the reading view to logged-in new account holders with zero edits.

Community Configuration

This Community Configuration extension was developed to help communities customize wiki features to meet their unique needs. The Growth team is now helping other Wikimedia Foundation teams make their products configurable:

The Moderation Tools team now provides Community Configuration for Automoderator. (T365046)
Certain Babel extension settings will be configurable soon. (T328171)

Future work

As part of the Growth team annual plan, we will continue to investigate ways to increase constructive activation on mobile, while also working with Data Products to move forward A/B testing functionality via the Metrics Platform.

Community events

Growth team members presented Community Configuration: Shaping On-Wiki Functionality Together at Wikimania (slides). The session recording is available to watch on YouTube. This session provided an update on the Community Configuration project and introduced details about the upcoming features that communities will soon be able to configure. Representatives from the Moderator Tools, Editing, Web, and Campaigns teams shared their plans for utilizing Community Configuration in the future. Following these presentations, the WMF Growth team's Benoît Evellin and Martin Urbanec answered audience questions.
Habib Mhenni gave a presentation of how mentorship works at WikiIndaba 2024. The recording is available.

Question from Drrashmisarkar (20:29, 2 November 2024)

Hello Zoozaz, How do I edit my Wikipedia page and make it useful and relevant? It also appears in medical biographies stubs. --Drrashmisarkar (talk) 20:29, 2 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Drrashmisarkar, since you have a conflict of interest, just write the edits you want to add on the talk page of the article, and make sure to type {{COI edit request}} above the edits you want made. Make sure you also write that you have a conflict of interest on your userpage. Zoozaz1 (talk) 23:35, 2 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi

But I do not have a conflict of interest. Just wanted to add more information. 122.161.52.173 (talk) 03:06, 3 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Drrashmisarkar, if it is your Wikipedia page, then you have a conflict of interest, because you are the subject of the article. If it is not your Wikipedia page, then you can edit it by pressing the edit button on the page and then making the changes you want. Zoozaz1 (talk) 14:19, 3 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Question from Technarest (19:04, 3 November 2024)

is using wikipedia for school essays considered “cheating”? --Technarest (talk) 19:04, 3 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Technarest, If you're not supposed to be using outside sources, then yes, it is cheating. If you're allowed to use those sources, then it isn't, but keep in mind that WP:Wikipedia is not a reliable source. Wikipedia should really only be used to get a general grasp of a topic, or to find other sources that Wikipedia cites that are more reliable. If you do end up using Wikipedia regardless, make sure to cite Wikipedia in your essay. Zoozaz1 (talk) 19:31, 3 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Question from Salt and vinegar55 (18:17, 5 November 2024)

Salt and vinegar55, if you want help with editing, see Help:Editing. If you want good sources, see WP:RSP. Zoozaz1 (talk) 22:57, 5 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Question from VINYLOCTET (17:08, 6 November 2024)

HI HI HI! PLSS HELP ME LEARN WIKIPEDIA EDITING TRICKS PLS!!! I NEW BTW --VINYLOCTET (talk) 17:08, 6 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

VINYLOCTET, Firstly, I recommend that you don't use all caps when editing Wikipedia, as it makes it seem like you are shouting. Secondly, you can read through Help:Editing for lots of tips on how to edit. Zoozaz1 (talk) 19:04, 6 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thank yoiuuu thank you thank you now I become pro editor cool VINYLOCTET (talk) 19:06, 6 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Question from Jimrot45556 (00:00, 12 November 2024)

Hello I’m trying to write an article about a 4 point checklist which points to the correct winner of every us election since 1916. The développer has a twitter account and I can rely on his posts and their dates as sources or references. Any tips on how to write the draft and save also ?

Thanks in advance, Sincerely, --Jimrot45556 (talk) 00:00, 12 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Jimrot45556, unless there is a lot of media coverage of this checklist (see WP:NOTABLE), your article won't be approved, so look for those reliable sources and then cite those as references. Zoozaz1 (talk) 00:55, 12 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The model is still new, the developper put his history and retroactive application of it since the us election of 1916. He correctly called the 2024 election before election day, looking at the date of his tweets posts as main references Jimrot45556 (talk) 15:48, 12 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Jimrot45556, I see, then it probably won't qualify for an article. Zoozaz1 (talk) 20:27, 12 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
